7 Things We All Think at the Grad

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.

If you’ve ever gone to The Grad in SLO to go line-dancing, you’ll understand that it’s a completely unique experience! Here are seven things you know will always happen once you’re there. 

1. How do they know all those steps?!

I mean, do they just show up and memorize by osmosis? Is there a “Cal Poly Line Dance” orientation class I’m missing?

2. Wow that couple looks so cute, I wish I had a SO like that

Well, I spend all my time at the lib or on Netflix, so I guess it’s no wonder that I’m a #singlepringle

3. OMG one of the really good dancers just asked me to dance. What do I do? 

Okay, this is easy, just relax and let him lead. Be cool, don’t panic. Oh no. He’s spinning me so fast! What if he tries to flip me?! *Makes effort not to run away*

4. Update: Prince Charming definitely just flipped me but I survived!

Swing dancing is such a whirlwind! It’s basically like the tea cups at Disneyland, but I can’t decide if it’s fun or if I’m about to throw up.

5. Hell yeah the wobble is on!

Finally, I can participate and look like I know something.

6. …Aaaaand it’s a new song that I don’t know.

Guess I should move off the floor so I’m not trampled!

7. Alright, this isn’t so bad.

I guess you really do Learn by Doing! 

I am a senior Anthropology and Geography student at Cal Poly SLO!
